Good point! My sister in-law who was sitting at the table, told my mom to remove the cake from the table, and that they should be helping me and not sabotaging me by placing the cake in front of my face. It worked when they removed it from the table. It is the second weekend I ate at my mom's where she had made a cake. I said no, the first week, but couldn't say no the second week. I don't think I'll eat there as often if she has cake every weekend.

It is good to hear that others also use positive self-talk.
xty: I know what you mean, I grew up with that negative self-talk and have really tried to turn it around into positive thoughts. I always believe that we have to be our own cheerleader and our worst critic. Good to hear that you have turned your negative self-talk into something more positive. Of course, I know what you mean about the odd negative self talk, but I don't find that helps me at all. Forgiving myself helps me move forward and become more positive.
Eliana: Congrats on your big loss thus far! That is so awesome that you have changed your entire view of yourself from amazon to tiny. I remember my dad and others used to say that I was built like a brick ****house.' I never found it complimentary, but I think he meant that I was built strong, but also amazon like. lol. I'd love to get to when people call me thin or small (I'll even take medium)
Nikki6kidsmom: It sounds like you are doing the exact thing that I do. When I say, 'you don't need that second helping,' 'you are full,' etc.. I find it has helped me so much in recent weeks. Congrats on getting to the not having seconds or overeating.
BeverlyJoy, SCraver, Katytrail, matt_h: Glad to hear that you also use positive self-talk to push yourself further, and motivate yourself. I figure that if we don't do it, then often no one else will push us.
